Main highlights
- Unsurpassed Scanning Range------Workers can scan barcodes across a wide range (0.5 in./1.23 cm to 14.5 in./36.8 cm), improving checkout speed and reducing training time.
- The kit comes with one barcode scanner, one cradle, one battery, one USB cable and manual.
- Pre-configured and Ready to Use, Right Out of the Box------Since the default settings are optimized for the majority of scanning applications, you can use the DS2278-SR imager the moment you take it out of the box — no configuration required. With omni-directional scanning, users never need to line up the imager and the barcode — unlike 1D scanners.
- Eliminate Bluetooth Interference with Zebra’s Proprietary Wi-Fi Friendly Mode------Ensure that your wireless DS2278 Bluetooth imagers only operate on channels that are not shared with your WLAN, protecting WLAN service levels for your workers and your customers.
- Control Your Scanners from a Smartphone, Tablet or PC------You can easily control the beeper, LED and Symbology settings; display scanned barcode data; access model and serial number information and more from Windows, Android and iOS hosts.
